I think the canon numbering though is different in different countries. I know some countries consider films like "Jungle Book 2" and "Return to Neverland" as canon films just because they were released in theaters.

I would like the numbering idea if Disney can make the packaging for all the films the same (and consistent) but that is never gonna happen as far as we know.

I'd go crazy if they did that in the US. I'd had to save up, buy all the Disney DVDs, then rearrange my alphabetized-chronological ordering of my DVDs. And only because I'm incredibly neurotic about this type of thing.

Okay, it's been updated to a #36 and I'm just going to assume that's right.

However it's a DVD only Musical Masterpiece Edition which joins Aladdin and Pocahontas for the UK or maybe Region 2 as a whole.

I'm just beginning to wonder now whether Disney actually intends to release any other non-Platinums on BR/HD. From the past we already know Disney has no logic or reason for their decisions and it's pointless to try and analyze them from mistimed anniversaries, pointless double dips, lack of uniformity etc so is it really wise to assume they will release them?

I mean, eventually, yeah, but is anyone honestly going to care if they finally decide to release them 5 years from now? They've already botched up their chance with so many releases and bad advertising to get a new generation interested in Disney.

If what people said was true last time, that a lot of people forgot about Aladdin after 10 years, who the hell will remember Hunchback of ND which had piss-poor release and marketing? This whole elitism of Platinums and nonchalant f*** you attitude to everything else is idiotic. Just another day with executives though.

Someday when I'm the head of the home video division at Disney, I'm going to create my own system of numbering based solely on my whims. Perhaps it will be by how much pudding appears in a film. Then I will give each movie a spine number based on that.

...and wait for the heads to explode.

I suppose they could have picked a worse time to do this. I mean, everything is out on DVD, and they've only just started on Blu-Ray. Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty will be re-released as Diamonds annyway... Snow White is the only one that's really gonna be the issue for me. It's not just the number though, its the moving of the little portrait from the bottom to the top of the spine that sticks out the most to me.

The covers on those *ahem* Musical Masterpiece editions are horribly off-model.

Anyway for list-purists I don't think this the best option since it includes Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon and The Wild. So, I know for a fact that the Dutch spines count TPaTF as the 53rd Classic, not the 49th. Not sure about the UK ones.
